Online Poker

Texas Hold'Em the world's favorite poker game. If you are ever lucky enough to play in the World Series main event in Vegas, this is the game you'll be playing. Each player receives two hole cards, and then five further community cards are dealt. Then it's the best five from seven that wins the pot. 

Omaha High is closely related to Texas Hold'Em, with players being dealt four cards initially rather than two. The game starts with every player being dealt four hole cards, face down. In between rounds of betting, the dealer then lays five further cards face up on the table. A player's hand now consists of his best five cards using three of the community cards and exactly two of his hole cards. After a final round of betting, the showdown determines who wins the pot! This game can be varied by adding hi/lo aspect to the game. The pot can be split between the high hand as standard and a low hand, 5 cards below an 8. If there is no low hand present the whole pot goes to the high hand.

7 Card Stud has traditionally been the most popular form of poker, and is still the most commonly played poker game in Las Vegas. The game starts with each player being dealt two hole cards face down, and one card face up. The player with the lowest door card then starts a round of betting. Then four more face up cards are dealt, each with a round of betting. A player's hand consists of his best five cards from seven. This game can also be played using the hi/lo variant as seen above.

The best new tournaments in poker the Headhunter challenge   Don't lose your head!

The Headhunter challenge is a new type of multi-table tournament where players can earn cash for every player they knock out of a tournament. A portion of every buy-in is assigned to each player's "head". The more players someone eliminates, the more cash they win and also the bigger the target they become for all the other players. All players who enter a headhunter tournament pay the same buy-in and entry fee. The prize pool is then divided, with a proportion being allocated to heads and then the rest going towards the standard prize pool. Although it may vary, the standard Headhunter tournament will award 50% of the prize pool based upon heads that are knocked out and 50% as the regular prize pool.
